Tena koutou e te iwi. The Kāinga Whenua loan scheme is an initiative between Kiwibank and Housing New Zealand to help Māori achieve home ownership on papakainga. Kāinga Whenua supports ahikaa and haukainga to help address whānau papakainga housing aspirations and can be used to build, buy, renovate or relocate a house on to your whenua Māori.

We are committed to the ecological restoration of many natural areas around Wellington, Hutt Valley, Kapiti Coast, South Coast, Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough Sounds and South Marlborough, as well as occasional forays into Canterbury and the West Coast.

Te Ture Whenua Māori Bill is designed to ensure there are appropriate safeguards for the retention of Māori land as a taonga tuku iho and to make it easier for Māori land owners to make decisions about how they wish to use their land.
